    You got 19 upvotes (as I see it) for having repeated word for word (or copy-pasted) what they say in the subtitle. An interesting phenomenon in itself.

      Yes. He gave us the missing information from the clickbait-title. In this way he was making the subtitle here available, and i didn’t needed to click a link to a random website too read it.

      In the end i was was clicking the link because the subtitle sounded interesting. With just the title i probably would not read it. And then i controlled if he cited it correctly. And because it was the same i gave an upvote to confirm to others that the subtitle is correct

        But I do see the subtitle, without having to click anything. As soon as I’m on this webpage, I see the same line twice.

          Ok, then it makes sense that you didn’t had a use for their comment.

          My App for lemmy (voyager) doesn’t prelead/preview the webpages. (And i also don’t want it to.)

          There are a lot of different ways to enjoy lemmy. This is nice but means that not everyone has the exact same experience as you :)

            I just downloaded Voyager for Lemmy, and now it makes sense that someone would bother to re-post the subtitle. 🏆

      Users on social media apps tend to avoid leaving the app to read articles. Reading comprehension in the comments is always highest in the comment chain of the most complete copy-paste of the article.
